Looking for info on "walking" horses

Post by Kimmers » Fri, 13 Feb 1998 04:00:00


Hello, I am looking for websites containing arguments against the
crippling of walking horses e.g. the Tennessee walking horse,
esp from a medical standpoint. I'm doing a little research about
the cons involved and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The crippling of Tennessee Walking Horses?  Why haven't I heard of this
before?  If you would like to post some more information LR?

I may not know much about the situation, but if I can get some details,
I'll get right onto it.

Your's sincerely, Russell.

I assume you mean soring rather than crippling. If so, you can
find some legal stuff under:
http://www.law.utexas.edu/dawson/cases/cruel/cruel.htm

You can find some information from the agency responsible
for enforcement of the Horse Protection Act at:
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ac/hpainfo.html
